Henry Cejudo responds to Dillashaw test fail

03/21/2019

“I feel bad for him. Obviously, you have your own exceptions out there. Some people have been wrongly accused in the past. But people like Lance Armstrong or Marion Jones — and I’ve looked up to her in the past — they have to live with the regret and the dishonesty for the rest of their lives. I honestly feel bad for them. I want to reserve judgment, but I also want to stay I never wish to anyone who uses PEDs again. There’s no place for that in MMA. This isn’t baseball or basketball. This is another human being with four-ounce gloves hitting another human being. Prayers to him and his family.” h/t BE

Jussier Formiga: With win at UFC on ESPN+ 6 It's impossible I'm not next for title shot

03/20/2019

Formiga, the #1 contender, on a 3 win streak, fights Deiveson Figueiredo on 3/23: “I’m not worried about the flyweight division possibly being abolished. The media made a lot of noise about that. Cejudo was just able to prove that he’s a great flyweight by defeating T.J. Dillashaw, who’s one of the UFC’s top fighters, pound-for-pound. After beating Deiveson, I’ll be on a four-fight winning streak. There’s nothing else to do after that, other than waiting for Cejudo. It’s impossible that I wouldn’t be next."

Dana White doesn't blame Jorge Masvidal or Leon Edwards for tussle

03/20/2019

“A lot of people overreacted on the Conor and Khabib thing. We had that thing contained like that (snaps fingers). ... It’s the fight business and our job is to make sure these things don’t happen onstage, behind the scenes, but sometimes it does. ... I do blame my staff. There’s never a scenario where you let guys walk up to each other like that backstage. I’m super disappointed in my whole crew for that one. These guys are fighters. They’re in the heat of the moment. He just won, he’s got the adrenaline pumping, this guy comes by, plus Masvidal isn’t a guy that — he’s that guy, you know what I mean? As soon as he started walking up the ramp with his hands behind his back, 10 people that work at the UFC should have jumped in there. That stuff shouldn’t happen. ... [Fighters] don’t live by the same rules that we live by. They’re different. That’s why they’re professional fighters and they were put on this earth to do that.” h/t MMA Fighting • Watch

Dana White: Fighting not in Tony Ferguson's best interests right now

03/20/2019

“Tony had hit me up after the Max Holloway fight went to [Dustin] Poirier and was saying, ‘What’s next for me?’ I said, ‘Well, we can get you a fight with Al Iaquinta.’ Reached out to Al, Al was interested in the fight. But the reality is that right now Tony has a lot of personal problems that he needs to deal with. I don’t think that putting him in a fight right now would be in his best interest. He needs to handle his personal stuff first.” h/t MMA Fighting • Watch
